This study tests a mobile app that teaches mindfulness to help people with spinal cord injury manage chronic pain. Participants use the app for a period of time, and researchers see if it reduces pain or improves well-being.
This study tests a virtual, at-home walking exercise program to reduce long-lasting nerve pain after spinal cord injury. It may help if your pain has been present for months and you can safely use the online walking sessions without significant side effects.
This study tests a new virtual reality walking therapy program designed to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury reduce nerve pain. If you use a wheelchair and have lasting nerve pain, this could be a way to try a non-drug treatment from home.
This study tests a non-invasive method called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief cycles of inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff on the arm. It may help improve health outcomes for people with spinal cord injury who are not currently able to exercise.
